The Happening is a stupid, stupid movie. I don’t think anyone can deny that. In fact, it may just be the stupidest movie I’ve ever seen and I’ve seen Snakes on a Plane and Mega Shark vs. Giant Octopus. It plumbs the depths of dumb in ways that few films have ever done before and for that, the M. Night Shyamalan deserves some credit. A few days before reviews for the film were posted online, M. Night said that The Happening was intended to be a B-Movie and I can’t help but call bullshit. If it wa… Continue

Okay, I just got hit with a metaphorical shit-storm of TLA Info. Actually it's not that much but it is pretty exciting stuff, so here it is:
1. The artist of the Last Airbender prequel manga has put out a sketch of her idea for the style of the comic. Here is what she let out, see what you think of the style yourself:

The Sixth Sense Review
Rotten Tomatoes rating: 85%
My rating: Full Price!!
This is another M. Night Shyamalan film, and another film you have to be careful not to spoil, although the very action of reviewing this is fairly useless as you’ve either seen it or are about to come across it. For those who haven’t seen it, run out there and watch it before some dick spoils it for you.
So on to looking at this thing… Continue

Hey, guys. With not too much information circulating about the Last Airbender movie in the last week or so, I thought I'd put a post up concerning rumors about what is being left out of the movie(s) and what should be, in my humble opinion.
Firstly, I have encoun… Continue
So in a random set of circumstances....watching "The Dead Zone," did some piddling around the internet for stuff on Anthony Michael Hall...went to the Dark Knight IMDB.com board and saw a bunch of random posts about the "Avatar" movie (the James Cameron one.) Foolishly thinking it was about the Nickelodeon ca… Continue
Hello Spill addicts,
Today I'm doing something a little different than my French movies highlights to put out there my point of view about the "hidden" message of the universally mocked The Happening...
First let me make one thing very very clear: the movie IS bad, I'm not going to argue about it! However I had a pretty interesting talk with Antithesis, fellow spil… Continue
I was able to get back to working on this sooner then I thought. So, let us resume...
4. The Happening
The most recent contender on the list. Now, what can I say about this movie? Well, it was probably the hardest I've ever laughed in a movie theater. Not since Snakes… Continue
Face the facts, ladies and gentlemen: The Happening was terrible. It stunk up the Box Office during its release in June and only continued M. Night Shyamalan's losing streak of movies. So, would it be any surprise to any of you that he has his eyes set on making a sequel to… Continue

The Happening is M. Night Shyamalan's latest movie. A film that pretends to make conscience that we must take care of our planet, without achieving it. It is supposed to be a suspense movie but frankly I didn't feel it. The story about a family on the run from a natural crisis that presents a large-scale threat to humanity seems to be very interesting and original but very bad developed, what I mean is that the movie begins directly from the conflict, there's never an introduction and there's no… Continue

Slow down there M. Night. You know, while I found your antics insufferable thus far, this time you really stepped over the line from Douchetown and took a fast train to Completeassville. It's one thing that your movie's getting reemed. Hell Korey's review of The Happening is the kindest I've heard. When talking to people whose opinions I trust, however, the picture is much, much bleaker. The nicest there was "It's the funniest movie of the summer" on down to "The worst thing I've seen all year."… Continue
...Which is not to say we won't be reviewing 'The Happening'- truth is WE CAN'T WAIT to review it!- but don't expect our review to post until after the movie has already been released because there will be no advanced screenings of it.

Dexter Asks:Hey Carlyle, I'm starting to see a lots trailers for the new R rated flick "m Night Shamalan presents a film by m Night Shamalan.... The Happening" I think they would do better to keep his name off the trailer. Any way at first I thought this movie was about the religious notion of the Rapture and that could be a cool movie plot. However I just saw the actual plot on imdb and man it sounds stupid and potentially environmentally preachy. I dont want to spoil it so look on t… Continue
I remember hearing M. Night Shyamalan interviewed on the Howard Stern show where he recounted his journey with his last movie, 'Lady In The Water'. Disney was ready to go with it but didn't really like the ending, which made him cry (no joke). After crying about it for a few days and searching his feelings, Shyamalan decided that Disney "didn't believe in the project" and he too it to Warner Bros., who was more than willing to give him complete creative control.
I don't know how m… Continue

Christmas with my parents. It's quiet this year with my parents and oldest sister compared with the madhouse last year when my other sister, her husband, their daughter, my brother and his long-term girlfriend were part of the mix.
